re: #60 Casual Talker

I’m a gay Jew. But, if I have to chose between two non-crazy candidates, I’d usually vote for the FisCon one, even if he/she doesn’t endorse marriage rights for same-sex couples.

The practical problem is, fiscon candidates are few and far between. Even John McCain said he wanted to pay the mortgages of deadbeat homedebtors who were underwater on their mortgages:

IMHO, one of the most horrific wastes of money is the government propping up house prices and giving handouts and huge tax deals to deadbeat mortgage holders. Both Democrats and Republicans are guilty of this. People borrowing more they can afford was 1/2 of the reason our economy was in trouble. (The other 1/2 was banks creating preposterous mortgage products to sell to the greedy/gullible)

Libertarians are no better. You’d think that a Libertarian would have “no opinion” on same-sex marriage. Why is the government sticking its nose into marriage at all? But you find most of them using weasel words to oppose it.
